Filing 5
ORDER: The court, on its own motion, orders these appeals are CONSOLIDATED for purposes of briefing and disposition. The briefing schedule is as follows: 1. The appellants shall file briefs and required short appendices on or before November 3, 2025. 2. The appellees shall file brief(s) on or before December 3, 2025. 3. The appellants shall file reply briefs, if any, on or before December 24, 2025. A review of the short records reveals that these appeals involve more than one appellant represented by different counsel. Counsel for appellants are encouraged to avoid unnecessary duplication by filing a joint brief or a joint appendix or by adopting parts of a co-appellants brief. Duplicative briefing will be stricken and may result in disciplinary sanctions against counsel. See United States v. Torres, 170 F.3d 749 (7th Cir. 1999); United States v. Ashman, 964 F.2d 596 (7th Cir. 1992). Appellants, however, may not adopt the Jurisdictional Statement of another. Each appellants brief must include a complete Jurisdictional Statement.
